Sage Days 130.5 - April 27th -- May 8, 2026, Montréal
A two-week Sage Festival in Montréal
École de Technologie Supérieure and UQAM, Montréal
Topics: Introduction to Sage for Teaching and Research, Teaching with Sage, Research and Development of Sage
About the Festival
As partner institutions within the Université du Québec, UQAM and ÉTS will host a two-week long Sage Days (the 8th Sage Days in Montréal and the first one to take place at the École de Technologie Supérieure). The first week (held at ÉTS) will focus on the introduction of Sage and Python to interested students (open to students from all institutions!), teachers and professors with further emphasis on (but not limited to) learning python, git workflow, teaching with CAS. The first week will be a great occasion to learn more about the software and for advanced developers to present and improve current tools. The second week held at UQAM will take the form of a Research Summer School with a mini-course (with exercice sessions), scientific talks, and Sage working sessions with further emphasis on (but not limited to) Geometric and Algebraic Combinatorics, Experimenting with Sage, Contributing to Sage. The second week will be a great occasion to learn how to use Sage while working on your own projects and exchanging with experienced users on available tools.
This Sage Days is organized under the framework of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery Grant entitled: “Geometric Combinatorics of Symmetric and Infinite Structures”.
